[ oh, wow. there’s a little pop of pride there, no one’s ever said that to him before, ever since he actually got his wings a few months back. truth be told, and he finds himself giving a small smile. it feels good. ]
Fort McCoy, yeah. Thanks— [ look at him, proud! and with a small salute! ] It’s been my dream to serve, so I’m glad to.
I have a cousin who was in the service. He's still in the reserves now, lives in the city... oh wait, no [ She narrows her eyes and then it comes to her. Ah, she has seen this face before... ] You'd've met Zack, right?
[ . . . hold on. he’s getting the same “this feels familiar” sort of vibe. was it a picture, or—? at least, with zack’s mention, it’s much easier to pinpoint, although his features do sort of drop with surprise. ]
Fairweather? [ deja vu, he asked this question over the network before. now it all makes embarrassing sense that this whole time . . . ] Natalia Fairweather?
[ aha. his opinion differs, but. he’s biased, and maybe his tiny smile doesn’t give that away . . . might as well make this official, since he hasn’t, so eren extends his hand to the one she could shake. ]
Depends on what you consider good . . . [ because good can also be something embarrassing, like the viral video of him crawling around an indoor playground with zack like a fool. or how his mom can’t stop showing elliot pictures of him when he was 5 months old. ] I don’t know much about you, though. Just that you’re family.
[ he can agree with that, smiling and offering a nod, but . . . there is one thing that got his attention. man, he could see elliot’s tomato-colored face at the sound of this. ]

[ Oh reason to tell anyone she was Natty. ... Or that his didn't come up near as much. But all the same, she smirks. ]

no subject

Her body rocks with some soft laughs. ]
